This Nike Air Force 1 Low is a Tribute to Kobe Bryant

Kobe Bryant fans are in for a treat later this month, as Nike is prepping to launch a special-edition Air Force 1 Low in his honor. Inspired by the PE pair that Bryant rocked during the 2002-2003 NBA season, this colorway perfectly captures the essence of the Black Mamba’s style both on and off the court.

The design is a masterclass in simplicity. Its crisp white leather upper serves as a canvas for bold “Varsity Maize” Swooshes with vibrant “Varsity Purple” accents, reflecting the unmistakable colors of the Los Angeles Lakers. These hues don’t just nod to Kobe’s legendary tenure in LA – they immortalize the golden era of basketball he helped define. Elsewhere, the classic Kobe Sheath logo graces the lateral heels, while his iconic number "8" is embroidered on the heel tabs.

Down below, white midsoles house the sneaker’s hidden Air cushioning system, while “Varsity Maize” rubber outsoles tie the entire look together.

Will you be looking to secure a pair? The Nike Air Force 1 Low “Kobe Bryant” will be available on Friday, December 6th, in select DTLR stores only for a retail price of $150.
